that was rex's question. are you ok?


I was just showing that I didn't dodge a question. To answer your question specifically let's put it this way, I would rather be trapped on an elevator with someone who might preach angry rhetoric every couple of years than a felon who might assasinate me. How about you?


mem, with the various topics being brought up re: obama's "sketchy" past (quotations on an as-needed basis), without getting into the specifics of who did what, and at what level, etc. wouldn't you prefer barrack just say "hey, listen, it was a few years ago. it was a lapse in judgement. i've since seen the error of my ways, and will continue trying to repair any damage caused"?

maybe he thinks he's done wrong, maybe he doesn't. but, clearly, large groups of people do. and, i think often, with some valid reasonings. as a political motive for him, or even as a "peace of mind" reasoning for you and other supporters, wouldn't that be a smarter path for his campaign to take?


No. For starters the people that are upset were not going to vote for Obama anyway. And I don't think he needs to apolagize for sitting on a couple of charity boards with Ayers. The press investigated this & their not best buds. Obama spoke out against the things Ayers did. Unless you believe Obama secretly condones those things that should be good enough for anyone.


Fair play!
